The shuffle was a treat to watch a couple of years ago when there were a select few doing it and looking awesome when they did.... Now every second person is doing it cause they though it looked cool and now look ridiculous out of time and cause they do it in such sudden bursts they can't even last a mix..... Bring back the old melbourne shuffle where it was individual to each person, not a line dance.... Old skool shuffler's still look amazing and there are still a few that do!

I don't think the streaming vid on ITM is related to this specific doco other than it's subject matter.

Still, the ITM vid is pretty crazy, so it'd be interesting to see this DVD with nothing but shuffle.

WTF is that sposed to mean.. its commercial. I know I don't pay the melbourne shuffle tax, nor do I wear the official melbourne shuffle mechandise.....

I'm sure it has become more popular.. good things always do. But srsly, quit your bitching.

*oh and tachyon, I'm rather sure its not the hip-hop crowd, this is the 3rd time i think they have done this, and apparently the last two times were awesome. (I can't go out all night, but don't wanna stay home, this is a nice option)*

*Edit*.. I appologise for my stupidity in not realising that was actually a joke, i'm tired and have been defending the shuffle all night (from various rave-haters)

I love the shuffle. I have my own style of shuffle and liquid. If you think it's gay and not true to the shuffle it's just because you're bitter it's not underground anymore, but times are changing.

Wouldn't mind going to see some old school shufflers and compare my own style to theirs. Maybe even rip off a few moves. Can we organise a TA meet for this shufflign event on Saturday?

What's that dance called that uses like one move of the shuffle behind the foot constantly? Stomp or something? I absolutely despise it and think it cheapens the shuffle. Although I'll do it on the odd occasion when I'm puffed out and my feet are hurting because it's so easy.

I think there was a little parody there, ie. he was having a dig the use of the cliche: "I dug it before everyone else did and now it's popular it sucks"

Unless I'm miles off the mark...

it is all about letting yourself go and flow with the music, if your lucky the moves will follow your rhythm and everyone is unique and has a different style!

Mine for example is a less 'fast paced' funky movement incorperating a bit of everything, and i love dancing, it keeps me fit!!
